Giodo Brunello di Montalcino (Red)
More from this producer: Giodo
2020
Semi-translucent ruby. Oddly chocolatey and biscuity on the nose - richer and rather more intense than a lot of wines, without feling sweet or jammy. Elegant, delicate structure with rather a lot of extracted tannins. Crunchy, acidic, fresh, lightly floral. Can't say I warm to it. It's light, ethereal, classy, glassy even, with lots of freshness and a hint of cherry fruit on the finish - it feels like it knows it's better than the rest of us

We’re mother and son duo Elizabeth Gabay MW and Ben Bernheim. Between us, we’ve been involved in the wines of southern France for over 30 years. Elizabeth started working with the wines of Provence back in 1986, and for the past 20 years has lived on the eastern edge of south-east France. We’ve worked on three books on rosé: Rosé Understanding the Pink Wine Revolution (2018), Elizabeth Gabay’s Buyers Guide to the Rosés of Southern France (2021 e-guide) and, most recently Rosés of Southern France (2022).
